Abstract

Magnetron sputtering technology was adopted to prepare dense yttia-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) electrolyte thin films on NiO-YSZ anode substrates. The influence of post-heat treatment on the properties of YSZ electrolyte films was studied. The results demonstrated that YSZ thin films after post-heat treatment were denser and crack-less than that without heat-treatment. Then the single cell of SOFC was assembled, and the performance of this cell was measured. The open circuit voltage was elevated to 1.023 V from 0.82 V, which was close to the theoretical one. The maximum power density was elevated to 760 mW/cm2 from 480 mW/cm2 at 800°C.
